jellsta 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hi all. I was having a little poke around in the engine bay before, as you do after washing polishing for hours etc etc. Id removed the air box to clean around it but after putting it all back together i noticed a strange whistling/sucking noise coming from a part just to the left of the main engine block. It looks like something snapped or sheared through leaving a pipe open. Very worrying. Looks like a fuel pump but smaller, about 8cm long attached into a hose by jubilee clips either end. Im not sure what the part is but i managed to clean it up enough to get the number. 021 129 101 A if anyones got the ETKA handy could they help me out? also comming out of the head pipe where it attaches looks like to be some sort of copper wire in the hole. any ideas as if it should be there. Cheers !sad Link to post Share on other sites

jb9999 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Yep. If thats the part you're on about, cost me £125 from VW. !sad Link to post Share on other sites
jellsta 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 cheers is this the round disc type thing? also any idea what the copper looking wire is coming out from the hole in the head?? Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 The part I think yuor'e on about comes from the cylinder head and connects to the air intake just before the throttle body,correct me if I'm wrong. I bodged mine for a while, until I run out of plastic to connect to the rocker cover and had to buy another. I cannot remember seeing a copper wire anywhere. Where exactly has yours broke?

jellsta 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 just as it comes off the head outlet and enters the big plastic disc type thing, sorry not very mechanicaly minded. Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Know exactly where you mean! Get yourself down to fords with the above part number and you'll be sorted. Cheap as pumpkin pie! or should that be chips. Link to post Share on other sites
jellsta 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 cheers mate, just one more thing, i found some oil in the area where the intake goes onto the carb housing. is this anything to worry about, or is this due to that pipe being broken? Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 When you say carb housing, do you mean the throttle body? When I cleaned my throttle body out, there was a small amount of oil(small enough to clean with some kitchen roll) on the plastic part of the air intake, but seeing as the breather from the rocker cover goes into the air intake' think thats always gonna happen, depends on how much oil were talking about.

jellsta 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 yeah sorry throttle body even, just a small ammount wiped it away too. managed to glue the filter to the tube as a temp fix until i can get one from ford, still unsure as to why that copper wire is in the hole. must be there for a reason cheers again :-) Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Is the copper wire going from the big round disk type thing into the air intake or into the engine rocker cover, just out of interest mate? Link to post Share on other sites
jellsta 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 its comming out of the rocker cover pipe, its all twisted and wound like an element. Link to post Share on other sites
fredfelcher 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 That copper wire is a 'flame trap' apparently to stop the oil/petrol fumes from igniting and blowing up your intake hose!Mine looks like a slightly larger 'Brillo' pad. Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Anyone got a pic of this part cos it sounds like the part i need to replace, just wanna make sure before I head down to fords! Link to post Share on other sites
ni-golf 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 would this be it? mines split in several places..does that ford part replace the entire thing circled above? or are the parts ordered seperatly. Link to post Share on other sites
